Felicia was in a meeting about her company. Clad in her daily clothes which were a purple shirt, white skirt and white heeled shoes. She ended her conversation with a competent, turned her back to him and overturned. She exited the hall and made her way to a bathroom.

Felicia was washing her face then looked herself upon the mirror, the company matters were exhausting so she had pouches.
''Oh Black Cat, you should get some rest'' Felicia sighed
Suddenly her sides ached with an incomprehensible pain. ''What is this? AAARRGGHH!'' she exclaimed,clutched her sides and grimaced. She fell to her knees. The pain was ever increasing instead fading. It was worse than a stomachache. Her sides felt like they were crushing under a pressure. ''IIIaaargghh!'' She cried out in agony. Suddenly the pain vanished. She struggled to breath as someone opened the door with a rush and people began to pour inside the bathroom.

''Miss Hardy,we heard a screaming. Are you alright?!''

''Yes,yes. Just a sharp stomachache. It's gone'' She got to her feet and put a smile upon her face. She said ''Thank you for caring. Let us return to the hall''

...

The Black Cat was on her way to her home. It was late night and she was exhausted. She spent all of her day with fighting against regular crimes like preventing a robbery. Despite the mysterious and constant pain on her sides ,she tried to avoid thinking about it and focused to protect Manhattan from any evil. She was getting used to preventing crime instead of doing it. There was a fact that she didn't want to think about it though. She was still using her caber to travel, but once, she accidentally shot out a spider web from her wrist. She jumped and jumped from one roof to another until she saw her Mansion.

''Guess mom slept already'' she said and made her way to her room's window,opened it and entered her could cling to the walls too. What would it mean worst at all?

She get off her black cat costume and dressed herself in her white PJ's . Despite her busy daily routine, dressing her pajamas in the night's silence was removing the fatigue of all the day. She sighed in exhaustion and leave herself to her bed. But falling asleep was hard while she was so restless. She couldn't help but think about what would mean the mysterious and painful cramps appeared on her sides yesterday, during the meeting. The pain was excruciating and constant. She didn't tell anything about it to Peter. Didn't want to make him worry about her.

Suddenly she grimaced,once before her sides were in great pain, like there was something underneath her skin, then the pain stopped. She sighed, tried to clear her mind. Then she dozed off.

It was 02.15, Felicia Hardy was sleeping uneasy in her bed.

She was on a meeting again ,clad in her daily clothes. She was talking someone about the future of their company. It was so boring. She said that she need to go bathroom and escaped from the boring people.

''Hoh, guess I saved myself'' She laughed and made her way to the corridor.

Suddenly a felt,sharp pain coursed through her body while she was walking on the corridor, ''Naargghh!'' she cried out as the pain intensed on her sides. She grimaced,clutched her right side while resting to the wall. ''What's this? What's wrong with me?'' she said through gritted teeth. The pain increased, instead fell to her knees and doubled over in pain.

In her bed, Felicia moaned and gripped her pillow as her body squirming in pain.

Suddenly the scene changed. She was on the Manhattan's empty streets,clad in her pajamas and standing on the road, barefoot .She looked around but saw no one, there was only darkness and silence. Suddenly she heard something,like a ran,ran and ran until she saw her Mansion in the distance. She leaped to her bedroom and closed the window.

''Wow!'' she said in shock.

She was full of dread. Suddenly she heard a scream from the outside and opened her window again to see what was happening. She saw a young woman similar to her on the garden.

''Hey! What are you doing in my garden! This is a personal territory!'' Felicia exclaimed.

She got same body type and same blonde hair with her, clad within the same mysterious woman didn't look at her. Suddenly she cried out and clutched her sides.

''NAARRGGHH'' Felicia heard her screaming. ''Hey, what's wrong with you?!'' Felicia exclaimed

Bulges were pressing against the woman's shirt. Trying to find their way out. Strangely Felicia's sides were sore too. ''Naargh'' Felicia cried out. ''What is wrong with you? And what's happening to me?'' Her eyes widened as the woman fell to her knees and four arms sprouted from her sides wildly. Her screams was dreadful. The woman got to her feet, turned her face to Felicia.

Felicia was looking to herself. ''Her-she'' got a freaky smile on her face. ''We are happy here, what about joining us?'' she pointed her with one of her arms.

Felicia's gaze locked on her other-self.

''No, this is not logical at all'' Felicia murmured. Suddenly her body twisted in pain ''NAAARGGHHH!''

She grimaced and clutched her sides. Swelling formed against her sides. She brought to tears as sweat began to pour down from her forehead. She squeezed her teeth and began to stumbling around her bedroom. The pain on her sides was reached its peak, an unbearable point. Her sides puffed up. ''NAAAAARGGGGGHHH! PLEASE STOP! MAKE IT STOP! NOOOOO!''

Felicia opened her eyes with dread and straighten up. Her pajamas were sweaty and she was breathless She remove her blanket and sat the corner of the bed. What was the nightmare meaning,why she saw herself as gotten crazy?

...

It was late afternoon, Black Cat was on a street lamb. She was observing the streets,especially the alleys. For crimes usually occurs in shadows. Suddenly her eyes locked up a woman fleeing from a snatcher. She hidden behind a wall with fear on her eyes. Black Cat jumped over and get face to face with the snatcher. The man fisted his swung to her, she easily dodged it and squeezed her fist. Punched to man but he easily dodged it, suddenly Felicia felt tired and unstable. She almost got hit by the snatcher's next fist and barely escaped from it. Felicia kept fighting exhausted but felt like her spider agility were gone and back and gone again. She barely defeated the snatcher, gave the woman's bag to her. The woman opened her mouth to give a thanks but there was no Black Cat there.

...

She arrived Peter's house distressed. Peter said;

-''What happened my love? You look worried and tired? What's wrong?'

-''Peter, how did you grow these arms? How was the process worked?''

-''Why did you even bother?''

-''TELL IT!'' she exclaimed unwillingly with a flash of anger.

She sighed, and sit on a sofa with her head in her hands, removed her mask.

-''Please''she murmured.

-''Well. First, I felt like I was losing my powers. Then strong, unexplainable cramps occured on my sides with some bulges appearing. Finally I grew those arms two months ago.'' Peter replied

-''So, I need to confess something to you dear. '' Felicia said

-''What happened? Can you get to the point before I get older?'' Peter asked anxiously

-'' So, I get some agonizing cramps recently too,like my sides were crushing under a pressure or will burst. It vanished but since then I'm always in a slight pain. Yesterday night, I had a nightmare. Which a woman looked like to me grew extra arms in my garden, before my she turned her face to me and I found out I was looking to myself.'' she erased her tears before continuing. '' Before an half an hour, I fought against a snatcher but I felt like my powers were vanishing and I was losing my strength''

-''Pete, what is happening to me?'' She gazed him, worried.

-'' Love, we need to go to Dr. Connor immediately. Let's go''

Black Cat nodded and they left Peter's house.

...

A needle pinned to Felicia's arm have just removed with her blood in it. Connor sat his chair as they sat the chairs before him. Peter collapsed his arms and Felicia was eating her lips as Connor examining the blood sample. Finally he finished it, removed his glasses and fix his gaze upon them with worried eyes.

-''Ahem, guys, I got some bad news it looks''

-''Just say it'' Felicia sighed

-''You said you get a DNA from a strange seems that serum had some mutated DNA inside of it. And strangely enough, you are showing the same symptoms with Peter. So, you would become a spider-monster sooner or later it seems. Unless..''

-''Unless what?'' Felicia exclaimed

-''We can make a serum to reverse to mutation like what we did for Peter to keep his mutation in check. But, I'm not sure it would fit your DNA's. You know, genetic differences''

-''I have to TRY IT!'' Felicia shouted with despair

-''It's not about ''trying''. This is such a big risk. If anything would go wrong, such as a miscalculation, it would lead something very worse, you know…'' Connor cleared his throat before continuing;

-''So, we can make the serum and give it to you but you have to wait a while for to allow serums antidote to process,to minimize the risks. Such as for two weeks at the least''

-''TWO WEEKS?!'' Felicia exclaimed again. ''AAARGGHHH!'' she clutched her sides, grimaced and bowed her head. The pain was like her sides were in flames. She could feel something was underneath her skin. ''I, I can feel something, something is slithering inside of me. MAKE IT STOP!'' She brought to tears of fear.

The pain gone finally, she sighed and exclaimed

-''I MUST TAKE IT NOW! NOTHING COULD BE WORSE THAN THAT!''

-'You have to wait Felicia. What do you want, be reckless and become a monster like I had?'' Peter said and hold her arms. ''Dear, I know these cramps are unbearable, but I have to say; what I experienced was far more terrifying than this. You must be patient and tough. Do this,for me''

Felicia sighed and nodded.

…

Felicia was in her bedroom, and had finished dressing herself in her pajamas. She sighed and put the serum on her console. "Well day was tough."

She flopped on the bed. Suddenly she cried out and stopped, perplexed.

Just then there was a loud knock. "Miss Hardy!" A voice shouted behind the door.

"Alfred?" Felicia exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you alright? I heard you cry out."

"Yeah, just a cramp." Felicia answered back.

"Sorry, can I come in? I can't hear you."

"Yes, come in."

A middle age man in a suit entered. "What happened? I heard you cry out."

"I just got a cramp."

The older man eyed Felicia perplexed. "But the way you screamed was like you suffered a great injury."

Felicia grimaced. "Sure felt like it."

"Do you need anything?"

"I'll be fine, Alfred." Felicia assured the butler. "Whatever it was is over."

"Very well. Good night."

"Good night." Felicia said.

The butler departed.

Felicia got into her bed, pulled her blanket on herself and tried to sleep. She closed her eyes.

….

The clock said 1:32. Felicia was sleeping soundly in her bed.

…

Felicia was web swinging high in the sky. All around were buildings, and sometimes a tree or a mountain. Suddenly the Green Goblin on his glider came in view.

"So you think you can stop the Green Goblin?" The maniac demanded, holding a pumpkin bomb in his hand which he threw at Felicia.

Felicia fired another web line with her left hand and swerved left, dodging the bomb. She then fired a web out of her right hand at the Green Goblin who served.

"Lets see if you can dodge six of my bombs." The Goblin shouted as he raised six arms, each hand holding a bomb and threw them.

Felicia dodged the incoming bombs and…cried out, her sides on fire.

…

In her bed, Felicia turned her head right and left with a moaning, her sides ached.

…

Felicia opened her eyes to a quietness. The pain on her sides was gone. She was lying on the bare and cold earth. She was clad in her pajamas, leaving her pale feet bare.

''Where, where am I?'' Felicia asked as she got on her hands and knees. She looked around her. She was in a dark and misty forest. There was no voice, not even a bird sound. Only a creepy silent and darkness.

"What happened?" She asked. "Where is the Green Goblin? And how did I get here?" She eyed her sleepwear and then her bare feet. ''Why do I not feel any cold beneath my hands and feet?

Slowly she got to her feet and looked around with fear and stress. She began to walking slowly, her barefoot continuously cracking branches and crushing dead foliage.

''Be quiet'' she murmured and kept walking with curiosity. She was so silent that she couldn't even hear her breathing. Only sound around there was causing by her foot. Although there was nothing going around, this stillness was the reason she was uneasy.

''Where am I? Why am I here?'' she thought with curiosity.

Suddenly she saw something in the distance, a shadowy creature with six arms.

A fear took Felicia and she slowly moved and hid back to a tree and began to examine it. Felicia tried to make noise as less as possible but her feet continuously cracking branches and foliage was betraying her.

Suddenly her sides ached again, she prevent herself from screaming, grimaced and clutched her sides. She doubled over standing; the pain was ever increasing like her sides burning in flames. She fell to her one knee while put her one hand to prevent herself completely falling to the ground.

''Not now, not now please stop'' Felicia whispered and prayed that she didn't take any attention.

Then the pain stopped. She got to her feet and saw the shadowy figure was coming where she stood.

''Should go away.'' she thought and began to run slowly in horror while trying not to make any sounds but her feet that cracking the earth beneath her were betraying her.

''Damn, stop it!'' she murmured

Suddenly the six armed creature turned its face to her direction like it sensed her presence nearby and turned its head like it just sniffed something or someone.

Felicia moved through some trees and bushes was trying to keep the distance between the creature and herself while running. Suddenly her sides ached again, such that she couldn't help but cried out in agony and clutched her sides.

''Not now, NOT NOW! STOP IT! AAARGGGH!'' She screamed unwillingly with pain.

The creature came in view. It stood on two legs and had six arms. It's body was covered with dark fur. But its face was the worse: two large fangs and six red eyes. The monster let out a roar; it began to walk towards Felicia.

Felicia could not run due to her pain, grimaced and crying out. She looked the monster with dread in her eyes. Then she saw an even worse thing. Bulges formed on her sides pushing their way to tear and break free from her shirt.

She cried ''What is this?! What is happening to me? Aaaarrgghh!'' the pain reached its peak as four extra arms emerged from her sides while ripping her shirt apart.

…

She opened her eyes with a scream. Her shirt was covered in sweat and she was breathless, her body trembled with lingering fear. This was the second nightmare she had in the past few days. And they had a common point; growing extra arms. What did it all mean?

The bedroom's door opened with a rush. ''Felicia!´ Anastasia exclaimed, her face full of worry.

"Mom?" Felicia exclaimed, surprise to see her mother up.

What happened my dear?'' Anastasia asked. "I heard you cry out."

Felicia didn't answered as she removed her blanket upon herself and sat on her beds corner, in full of thoughts.

Felicia continued to tremble with fear, but tried to be strong. ''Don't worry mom, just a nightmare," She assured her mother, her voice still shaky. "But why are you up?"

Anastasia sighed. "I had trouble sleeping. I went to get some warm milk. I was heading to my room when I heard you cry out. I was worried."

"Well it's alright, mom." Felicia assured her, her fear remains though.

Anastasia eyed her daughter and then noticed that Felicia's shirt was wet with sweat. ''Felicia, you should take a shower bath before trying to sleep again''

Felicia just nodded and accepted it.

…

Felicia exited the bathroom, clad in a blue towel, her hair was wrapped in a smaller blue towel. She changed into new pajamas and lied down to her bed.

She laid silently, trying to relax. The shower had felt good and she did feel that she could fall asleep without a problem. But she was still haunted by the nightmare. She barely remembered. Only the intense pain, being chased by a monster and growing arms, becoming a fear.

"Relax, What's wrong with you?'' she grimaced and closed her eyes, trying to ignore the fear of sleeping.

Moments later, she fell asleep. The darkness in the room was ominous.

Author Note: Now, the serum began to show its side effects, including a pain intensing on sides and leading to corrupt Felicia's psychology. She got two nightmares in a row, as her body is carving inside to out with a gruesome pain. While trying to remain strong, she is walking at the edge of madness, which would lead her to do something very, very wrong.
